Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Michael David Smith suggests, even a small amount of positive movement today should have resulted in a meeting somewhere in the middle. After all, the two sides really weren’t that far apart in the first place. The differences between the owners and the players on rookie pay were about a relatively small amount of money and would affect a relatively small number of players. So with one week to go before the July 21 meeting at which the owners are hoping they can vote to approve a new deal, Smith further suggests we can all hope they can wrap up the rookie pay scale today. We would agree. Hope is cheap. Let's indulge ourselves. At least until later today when we're likely to get more verification of progress -- or not.
